Called to Love and Serve One Another
With Jesus Christ as our teacher and friend, the purpose of St. Michael’s School is to provide a safe, happy and caring community where all of us can grow in the knowledge of God and of each other, while developing students’ self-esteem, personal responsibility and a love for learning in a bilingual environment.
Treaty 4 Land Acknowledgement
St. Michael’s School acknowledges our place on Treaty 4 Territory, the traditional lands of the nehiyawak, Anishinaabe, and Dakota, Lakota and Nakota Nations. It is also the homeland of the Métis People. We honour the spirit and intent of our sacred Treaty relationship, and journey together to reaffirm our relation to one another and the land.
